Parents, do you remember the infamous pyramid that we were all introduced to in elementary school.?? The pyramid that sometimes left us confused on what to eat and how to eat ?? Well, no more confusion!!!
The USDA and Michelle Obama have come up with MyPlate. MyPlate shows us what our plates should look like when we eat a meal. If, you take a look at the picture below, you will notice that each food group represented by a different color:
- Grains (Orange)WHOLE GRAINS!! Pasta, rice , oatmeal, bread, etc
- Protein(Purple)Eggs, nuts, seeds, beans, meat, fish
- Veggies (Green)Lettuce, kale, squash, string beans, carrots
- Fruits (Red) Apples, strawberries, plums, mango, kiwi
- Dairy (Blue)
- Milk, Cheese, yogurt
